Statement on Liberal Learning and Christian Scholarship
Messiah University educates for mature Christian citizenship. This means that:
- we expect our faculty to teach as Christian scholars in pursuit of faithfulness to both God and academic disciplines;
- we embrace liberal learning, believing that all truth is God’s truth—revealed by God to be understood and applied by each of us;
- we expose our students to multiple views and perspectives to enable them to respond with maturity to the complexities of the contemporary world;
- we approach intellectual questions in a spirit of humility recognizing that each individual’s knowledge, understanding, and wisdom are finite; and
- we seek to learn in order to better serve God and others.
